Family have turned against me

Nerves feel completely shot at the moment. Family have turned against me and I'm fed up of the whole situation. Everything has been twisted to make me out to be this horrible person by my parent and now I'm getting phone calls from my siblings. It doesn't seem to matter what I say in my own defensive they don't want to hear it.
I don't think the relationships can be salvaged, feel on edge all the time trying to anticipate the next thing I'm going to be accused of doing.
I've just had enough. It sounds like they're sprinkling elements of truth but then putting massive lies in there to make it sound believable. I have tried my best to explain the situation but there's no point
Luckily I've got my partner and best friend, but I just feel like the world is imploding around me at the moment and I'm waiting for the next thing to smack me in the face

Your situation happened to me.

My mother then turned on one of my other siblings and then that sibling ran to me crying.

By then it had been 5 years. I wasn't interested. In fact I think I laughed as I shut the door in her face.

Sometimes the real family you make aren't the ones related by blood. Concentrate on yourself and your partner and friends.

I don't think I'll have any capacity for sympathy if my mother turns nasty on any of my siblings. They had all the information available to them and chose to kick me when I was down regardless, even if they'd just have quietly kept out of it I'd have accepted that but it felt like a pack of hyenas
I'm so grateful for my partner and friends, they've really been there for me through this and I'll never be able to thank them enough.
